Really good midrange power, unique acceleration quality (you can feel the rear end squat and gain traction), nice exhaust note, good looks, no power above 4,000 rpm. On the highway, at 80 mph, it is geared to get pretty good acceleration at above this speed in top gear.
Why did I get it...a good price.
Boy did you nail it!
It is a european sports car by definition - designed for handling before speed, style above raw muscle, yet it does have a pair if you want it just not teflon.

SolidGun - what is the significance of a Mitschubishi logo on that ******?
